Today's 'Tip-sy Tuesday' is a fail. Just putting that out there before you get excited about making one of these.
I planted to big flower pots at the campsite and googled how to make one of those plastic bottle irrigators that you stick in a plant when you won't be around to water it frequently - I've seen pictures of them but didn't know exactly how to make one.
I don't remember where I found these instructions to poke holes in the bottom of an empty plastic bottle and then bury it up to its neck in the plant. Then add water to the bottle and it'll slowly release into the soil. Made sense to me so that's what I did.
I must have done something wrong because the water immediately drained out of the bottle into the dirt! What? I used a nail to poke the holes, maybe the holes were too big or I made too many? Has anyone made one successfully and can tell me where I went wrong? I'll try again with smaller holes and less of them and let you know the outcome!
